Ubisoft has released two tech movies from Far Cry 2 trailer, showcasing this first person shooter sequel in the works at Ubisoft's Montreal studio. Developed for PC, PS3 and Xbox 360, Far Cry 2 is scheduled to ship in Spring 2008.

Problem was... original designers and programmers had all moved on. "Franchise name" was sold. Company that bought it hired an el-cheapo games development company with limited experience to do a console-port-to-PC version. SUCKED BIG TIME.

Good point!

We'll just have to wait and see, even if the game is shite, I'll still be able to run around burning people and things. I like burning things! That alone is enough for me to buy this game, unless it's really shit, obviously.

Yeah, but FarCry 2 is made by Ubi Montreal so no worries.

Anyway I must agree with AphexDreamer, about the pistol. And also think that tree regeneration, though cool, must be the most irrelevant and worthless feature ever implemented in a game. If any close to reality, it would take years to regenerate a single branch, so I don't see the point. Unless has something to do with the plot. If not I don't think we are going to experience the change, call me unbeliever, but I don't think the game would last years to finish it.

lol, do we really need tree regeneration? that supposed to take years to happen and the gameplay will probably be ~10 hours, not 10 years
will there be missions to protect the trees? will trees be my enemies or friends?
Don't get me wrong, I think it might be technically great idea, but in this particular game it doesn't have much use.
